The 2001 was the year, when the actor debuted as a producer for Ashutosh Gowarikar's “Lagaan” going superhit, as the flick also went to the list of the Best Foreign Language Film in the 74th Academy Awards at Oscars. That year is also remembered for Farhan Akhtar's “Dil Chahta Hai”, where Aamir delivered just opposite of what he gave in Lagaan.
